What should the White House do? Panic!
CNN ^ | Sept. 15, 2011 | James Carvlle

Posted on 09/15/2011 7:50:16 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

(CNN) -- People often ask me what advice I would give the White House about various things. Today I was mulling over election results from New York and Nevada while thinking about that very question. What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic.

We are far past sending out talking points. Do not attempt to dumb it down. We cannot stand any more explanations. Have you talked to any Democratic senators lately? I have. It's pretty damn clear they are not happy campers. This is what I would say to President Barack Obama: The time has come to demand a plan of action that requires a complete change from the direction you are headed.

I don't know how else to break this down. Simply put: 1. Fire somebody. No -- fire a lot of people. This may be news to you but this is not going well. For precedent, see Russian Army 64th division at Stalingrad. There were enough deaths at Stalingrad to make the entire tea party collectively orgasm.

-snip-

Mr. President, people are livid. Tell people that you, too, are angry and sickened by the irresponsible actions on Wall Street that caused so much suffering. Do not accept excuses. Demand action now.

As I watch the Republican debates, I realize that we are on the brink of a crazy person running our nation. I sit in front of the television and shudder at the thought of one of these creationism-loving, global-warming-denying, immigration-bashing, Social-Security-cutting, clean-air-hating, mortality-fascinated, Wall-Street-protecting Republicans running my country.

The course we are on is not working. The hour is late, and the need is great. Fire. Indict. Fight.

Dims have two choices: throw him under the bus, or try to re-arrange the deck chairs. Carville chose the latter, and fails so miserably it's humorous.

The disdain just oozes from The Forehead’s words, and it’s absolutely comical how apoplectic the media is becoming over Obama’s idiocy.

The fact that they have to write what is tantamount to a letter pleading for change is the most amusing part of this whole thing.

I think they should set up a web site dedicated to fighting back against any negative information being put out about 0bama,

and set up a twitter hashtag to go along with it.

Just reading the crap coming from this disgusting human gets me sick. But he represents all that the dummycrats stand for in America . . . He’s despicable . . . and it’s too bad that somehow this fool gets paid to puke his thoughts on such a large scale.

I wonder why we didn't hear these stories when the Republicans were having a tough time winning elections? Could it be because the MSM is trying the Dems all the advice they can to help out. While they licked enjoyed watching the Republicans wallow for a little bit.

Firing people doesn’t create jobs.

Mr. Carville is still crazy after all these years.

Mr. Obama cannot turn around; his direction is set in concrete. Government is his God. Period.

In short, he is toast.

...global-warming-denying...

Easter bunny, Santa Claus, unicorn, alien crop circle, 9/11 conspiracy deniers... damn all you rational, reality-based fascists...!

Carville's demand for firing someone is interesting based on the White House Insider's list of things that will be done before the election. 1) Take down Eric Holder... this will destroy the firewall to all the criminal activity going on inside this administration; and 2) A very public firing of a higher-up inside the White House. He didn't elaborate on who that might be.

Fire somebody. No — fire a lot of people./

The whole WH would be empty, including the Oval Office,,,oh wait, he’s never there anyway.

It's amusing but sad at the same time. Rush made a good point yesterday: He said while Zero's policies aren't successful, he has been successful in implementing them - he has polluted the judiciary with leftist ideologues for a generation.

Republicans are still the anathema but Carville doesn’t get it: Democrats are socialists now. If anything, Carville is on the wrong side — forget being on the Russian side in Stalingrad — your party is actually the National Socialists, the German Nazis’. So jump that whole European thing and become an American. Life is much simpler and you don’t have to make delusional excuses.

Makes no sense. For starters, Tea Partiers aren't collectivists....
